Following instructions assume that you are using a SD card reader on host PC.

+

* Format SD card using ext2 or ext3.

+

mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdf1

+

* Mount this partion

+

mount /dev/sdf1 /mnt/disk

+

* Unpack rootfs archive to card.

+

tar xvzf LATEST_openwrt-s3c24xx-rootfs.tgz -C /mnt/disk

+

* Copy kernel to card /boot/uImage-GTA02.bin

+

cp LATEST_openwrt-s3c24xx-2.6-uImage /mnt/disk/boot/uImage-GTA02.bin

+

* Umount SD card partition

+

umount /mnt/disk

+

* Then boot from SD card with your FreeRunner.

+

+

= Usage =

+

After flashing both images, reboot your phone and depending on what packages were built into the image (if compiled yourself this means the packages you've selected) you might be able to initiate and receive phonecalls with your FreeRunner running OpenWrt :)

+

+

'''First start'''

+

+

You see nice OpenWrt bootsplash and message "split_squashfs: no squashfs found in neo1973-nand", but just wait minute or two and X will start. Enlightenment+illume starts. There are xterm installed and qwerty-button for [[on-screen-keyboard]].

+

+

You can reach the Freerunner over wlan or [[USB_Networking|usb network]] as usual but Freerunner under OpenWrt have '''192.168.1.1 IP address''' as default.

+

+

'''Enable wifi'''

+

echo s3c2440-sdi > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/s3c2440-sdi/unbind

+

echo s3c2440-sdi > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/s3c2440-sdi/bind

+

+

ifconfig eth0 up

+

iwconfig eth0 essid NAME

+

udhcpc

+

+

If your router has ip 192.168.1.1 (which is recommend in usb-networking), use this to stop usb0:

+

ifconfig br-lan down

+

Or you can change the address of usb0. Is it in file: ''/etc/config/network''

+

+

'''Enable SSH'''

+

+

To be able to SSH your phone, you must setup a password. You can use xterm and command 'passwd' or you can use telnet (if you connects over wlan, use proper ip-address):

+

+

$ telnet 192.168.1.1

+

Trying 192.168.1.1...

+

Connected to 192.168.1.1.

+

Escape character is '^]'.

+

=== IMPORTANT ============================

+

Use 'passwd' to set your login password

+

this will disable telnet and enable SSH

== Installing packages ==

It uses opkg and default repository is http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/s3c24xx/packages/

+

+

opkg update

+

opkg install nano

+

+

If the opkg install quits with error "* Packages were found, but none compatible with the architectures configured" then the following line should be checked in /etc/opkg.conf (error occured with nanl.de rootfs (22. September 09))

+

+

arch s3c24xx 1

+

+

Where ’s3c24xx’ is the architecture and ‘1′ is a ‘priority'.

The command will fetch the OpenWrt base system and put it into the openwrt subfolder of your current working directory. From now on this HOWTO assumes that your working direcory will be the newly created openwrt folder.

Please mind that this config does not define what packages will be compiled - it just defines which package-descriptions (OpenWrt-Makefiles) will be fetched which will be listed within the menuconfig later.

After that update your feeds to download the OpenWrt-Makefiles of these packages and provide (install) them

and select s3c24xx as the Target System. As Target Profile you have to choice between

Openmoko GTA-02 (full): This is the one you probably want since it has enlightenment and paroli preselected.

Openmoko GTA-02 (minimal): This profile contains only the basic OpenWrt packages, so you'll only get a shell and some command-line utils.

You now can also select additional packages you want to be installed in your image. Make sure you select as build in [*] else [M] you'll only get the packages but they will not be in the image, but can be installed later on.

You maybe also want to change the IP address under which the freerunner will be reachable. To do so select "[*] Image configuration". In its submenu you can change the images network configuration.

Per default OpenWrt is using the uclibc as libc implementation. You can use another libc (e.g. the glibc) by changing that via "[*] Advanced configuration options (for developers)" -> "--- Toolchain Options" -> "LIBC implementation".

Fetching OpenWrt trunk

The command will fetch the OpenWrt base system and put it into the openwrt subfolder of your current working directory. From now on this HOWTO assumes that your working direcory will be the newly created openwrt folder.

cd openwrt

Add packages from extra feeds

Although this is sufficient enough to build an image for the freerunner you will not be able to build a lot of packages useful on your phone. Those packages are in extra feeds. To enable those feeds:

cp feeds.conf.default feeds.conf

Then edit your feeds.conf and enable the efl (for enlightenment) and phone (for fso, paroli, ...) feeds, by removing the '#' at the beginning of these lines, so that it might look like:

Please mind that this config does not define what packages will be compiled - it just defines which package-descriptions (OpenWrt-Makefiles) will be fetched which will be listed within the menuconfig later.

After that update your feeds to download the OpenWrt-Makefiles of these packages and provide (install) them

scripts/feeds update -a
scripts/feeds install -a

Configure target and packages

Now you'll have to select the target platform for the freerunner. Run

make menuconfig

and select s3c24xx as the Target System. As Target Profile you have to choice between

Openmoko GTA-02 (minimal): This profile contains only the basic OpenWrt packages, so you'll only get a shell and some command-line utils.

You maybe also want to change the IP address under which the freerunner will be reachable. To do so select "[*] Image configuration". In its submenu you can change the images network configuration.
